I too have a slight shutter in mine. I think it's an slipping clutch disc in mine. Ive adjusted it but haven't taken it out on the road yet to see if that was the ticket. good luck.

I've got a $25 bet that your engine mounts need replacement.

I had that problem on my old 914. When I pulled the transaxle to check the clutch, my pilot bearing was MIA for some reason. I fixed that and I may have done tranny mounts at the same time, but the problem went away.

Oiled up clutch from either engine main seal or tranaxle input shaft seal.

Replace the clutch disk if it's got oil on it.
If the engine is going "WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM" in 1st gear and the car is shuddering, it's the motor mounts. If the gear shift lever moves around a bunch under hard braking, it's the motor mounts. If you can jack up the engine a couple of inches without the motor mount bar moving, it's the motor mounts. My personal guess is.... --DD |

An easy way to check the engine mounts is to open the engine bay, put the emergency brake on, and have someone watch the engine as you slowly let out the clutch. If you can see the engine raise up alot, then the mounts are bad.
